MikroTik RouterOS version 6.33.5

MikroTik released a new version of it’s RouterOS at the end of 2015. In this release, we got some great updates! Some highlights include being able to see partial ARP entries and netwatch is now much more precise with ping time outs. In inbox, we are also going to get per-interface counters for fast-path. This feature alone will help in seeing how fast path is working and diagnosing issues with it if they arise.

Here’s a complete list of what’s new in RouterOS v6.33.5:

arp – You are now able to show incomplete ARP entriesbtest – Improved the UDP TX rate precision, and also fixed the potential crash after btest releasecrypto – Fixed the kernal failure in talitos hardware encryptiondhcpv6-client – Fixed the DNS address assignment, now sets the correct parameters when a rapid commit is usede-mail – Doesn’t reset the server address after changing the configurationfastpath – Fixed the possible kernal failure on multi-core systemsfetch – Added a 30 second time outhotspot – Added the missing favicon.ico to the hotspot html pageskernal – Improved the core process schedulingled – Added WLAN led to the RB951Uilog – Logs up/down events only when they actually change stateslte – Improved support for the Sierra Wireless 320u, and sped up the first connection to an LTE network on SXT’s using LTEnet – Slave config gets applied when the master config has been changed, and the L2MTU is now not shown in the VLAN compact exportnetwatch – Ping time-out made more preciseppp – Made PPP active and both the print radius & !radius conditions workromon – No longer accepts multi-cast id, and won’t crash RoMON when fast-path is activesmb – Shows the correct interface name inside the SMB dubug logsssh – Fixed session clean-upsshd – Resolved the shared secret mismatch issuetile – Fixed the kernal failure on hardware accelerationwebfig – Fixed the issue of zero values not showing in CRS ingress/egress VLAN translation ruleswinbox – Added “=” and “-” to IGMP proxy MFC, added an LCD menu for the RB3011, now allows you to specify the traffic monitor threshold in k and M units and to specify they’re bits, now shows the fast-path per interface counters
